Legal Aid's Board of Directors enjoyed their annual retreat today at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. They got a deep (and fun) dive into data with Brian Mikelbank - visiting scholar at Legal Aid and associate professor at Cleveland State University. The day wrapped up with a phenomenal panel of partners from The MetroHealth System (Cleveland, OH), Cleveland Public Library, Lake County Free Clinic, and CHN Housing Partners. #TogetherWeCan #ExtendJustice

About us
Legal Aid’s mission is to secure justice, equity, and access to opportunity for and with people who have low incomes through passionate legal representation and advocacy for systemic change. This mission centers on our vision for Northeast Ohio to be a place in which all people experience dignity and justice, free from poverty and oppression. Legal Aid uses the power of the law to improve safety and health, promote education and economic security, secure stable and decent housing, and improve accountability and accessibility of government and justice systems. By solving fundamental problems for those with low incomes, we remove barriers to opportunity and help people achieve greater stability. This leads to greater engagement in our community, which in turn fosters a vibrant society.
